I have noticed this and I am surprised this doesn't work out of the box. Investigation required to see whether GTK supports this. |
|
|
I did some investigation and I cannot find any way that GTK can be told to do this -- maybe there is some complex style property that can be set, but I didn't find any. While it would be theoretically possible to code up all of the event handling and callbacks necessary to implement this in application-space, I don't want to take this road since this is a GTK issue not a DarkRadiant one. |

I didn't realize this had been closed. Is it possible to at least have Enter open a folder? That way the user goes to the media tab, types "da" and gets darkmod, hits Enter, types "w" and jumps to wood, hits Enter... and so on? Failing that, can we scale back the existing shift-arrow functionality (which expands the _entire_ tree) so that it only opens one folder at a time and doesn't go through the whole tree? It would be much more usable if so. |

It *may* be possible to achieve this using custom keybindings in .RC files. Probably you want this behaviour for all GTK apps, but it should also be possible to supply a custom GTKRC file for DarkRadiant. Key binding information: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Bindings.html Resource file information: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html |

This can be fixed. You need to find the gtkrc-2.0 file (or equivalent) on Windows -- I am not entirely sure where this is unfortunately -- and insert the following: -- BEGIN -- binding "ExpandRows" { bind "<Control>Right" { "expand-collapse-cursor-row" (1, 1, 0) } bind "<Control>Left" { "expand-collapse-cursor-row" (1, 0, 0) } } class "GtkTreeView" binding "ExpandRows" -- END -- Theoretically you can use any keybinding you like here, I have use Control-Arrow but you could use just an arrow if required. |

The .rc file is here: C:\Program Files\<Common Files?>\GTK\2.0\etc\gtk-2.0 I don't know exactly, what the common files folder is called in the English WinXP version, I have the German one. |

Ah! Thanks guys, that's great. :) Only leaving this open for feedback, will close right away - should this be included in the package by default, or no? |

Since it is a global GTK issue rather than DR-specific, we can't really package it as part of the release. It could go on the Wiki in a Hints & Tips section however. |

Sounds good. Closing. |
